An Alpaca For Amandalpaca From Alpacadam

 

Here's an alpaca with your name on it
fur as soft as the ear of a rabbit
bounding between the lines of a sonnet
all for the sake of love.

An' if this crazy camelid runs away
the green grass of Kent leading him astray
you just whistle him home- it's your birthday
all for the sake of love.

In the name of love, for the sake of love
just whistle an' he'll come bounding for love
with fur soft an' white as a cloud above
and your name on it.

How should you care for him? Just let him eat
no grass is greener than here at your feet.

A sonnet ( I claim) for my beloved's birthday. I don't expect it to mean much to you, that's okay, I'm just leaving it here for safekeeping.
